A warrant dated July 3, 2014, from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas had been issued for Patrick Terhune for violation of 18 U.S.C. 2252(a)-transportation of child pornography.

At approximately 10:00 p.m. on Friday, July 4, 2014, FBI agents and officers of the Oklahoma City Police Department Gang Enforcement Unit arrested Terhune without incident in front of a residence in South Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
